I can bet if you called your mom-in-law and told her what you just told us that she'd be suprised. She may not realize that her daughter is upset that she doesn't have time for her .... once kids are grown, we know they seek elsewhere for that closeness (like your wife should be getting from you).
Is it also that the other daughter is having problems and needs mom more than her sister does?
I'd say confront mom and ask her (in a loving way) to ease the stress of your wife by spending some quality time with her :)

Did something happen between your wife and her mother? Really the only thing you can do is be supportive. You might suggest to your wife that she needs to sit her mom down and have a heart to heart with her. Maybe even role-play the conversation so she can rehearse what she wants to say and how she wants to say it. Good Luck

Tell your wife to toughen up and see if her mother notices...If she does, then tell her how you both feel...
